We win with Heath too. Pay him 15 million?

What have we won with Zeke? Disappears in the big games. Needs a top Oline to run through big holes and even when there all big holes he cant take it to the house like other backs.
Come on man are you seriously trying to make a point by asking should we pay Heath 15 million? And we win games. No it’s not a Super Bowl but you have to win regular season games even to get a **** at a ring.

I didn’t want them to sign Zeke to that deal but let’s don’t go full dumb here. He’s the best player on this team. You pay your best players and figure out the rest later.

No more silly then your lame point that we win with Zeke. Zeke is definitely not the best player on the team. He also plays one of the least important positions on the team. I cant think of ONE game that we won because of ZEke this year. Not ONE.

You dont figure anything out later. You build your team with a plan and with the salary cap in mind.

Cowboys screwed up taking Zeke early and now they have to compound that mistake by signing him to big money.

I don't think you know what average means.
I don’t think you understand how football works. He has four all pro caliber offensive linemen and gets 95% of the carries. Using yards per game as the only way to judge his performance is kinda pointless.

His rookie season he had 60, 55 and 32 yard TD runs. The 60 was against Cin., he made no cut just a straight run because both safeties took horrible angles. He never has been a burner

Did you see the screen against Pittsburgh? He had a ton of "burner" runs at Ohio State. He's definitely lost a step.

For $108 million, I expect at least 150 total yards, 5+ catches and 2+ TDs in every single game. H should be putting up better numbers than CMAC and Dalvin Cook.
LMAO! :laugh:you talking about the same dalvin cook that averaged 2.1 yards a carry against the eagles with 16 attempts for 41 yards? so than they put in his back up and he did better? imagine having a good running back, complaining and than wishing he was someone else who did WORSE against the same team.

LOL you dudes are literally hilarious. " Needs big holes to run through to get yards ". Um DUH, isn't that entire point of having a O-Line, any RB needs holes to run through, look at saquans yards from not having a line, guess what... if he was so much better than Zeke and didn't need a line how come hes not putting up numbers? hmm.. i wonder if people talked about emmitt smith the same way when he was running behind a great line.. or did the fans just let him be great.

I still prefer 2016 Zeke over the bulked up Zeke we've got every year after that.

He used to be a big play guy and now he just hunts down safeties and gets tackled. I hate it.
It don't disagree. He was doing it all his rookie season.

The last two.

Dalvin Cook? Dude can't even stay on the field. Man, if someone wants to compare Zeke to someone, at least pick someone in the same stratosphere.

What continuously cracks me up is how so many people don't understand chain movers and tough yards. Too much FF, I guess.

Saquon is more fun to watch, Zeke is more conducive to winning games. Esp the last couple where he's finally showing some spring in his step.

Its almost to the point where he is one of the worst backs I have ever seen at making guys miss in the open field.

Give Pollard 20 carries in a game and lets see what the kid can do.

Serious question. At some point in your life, did you experience some type of brain trauma? Or did Zeke steal your girlfriend? There’s really no alternative explanation.

You are right. You could actually watch the games and see how him laying a huge hit on Malcolm Jenkins set the tone on offense against the Eagles. Or you could watch him routinely ripping off 6+ yard runs and generating tons of first downs completely wears down a D.

Or, you could choose your analysis. "He gets a lot of yards because he gets the most carries." Gee, why do you think we keep feeding him the ball? Your argument is like a snake eating its own tail.

894 yards to 741 yards says a lot to me. Cook on pace for 1600 yards, Zeke on pace for 1500-.

Oh boy, another poster who only cares about his fantasy stats and thinks that real football is like Madden.

Dude has five 100 yard games already.
I mean do you really think it is an unfair statement to say that he lacks the breakaway ability he once had? I love Zeke and think there's a TON of value in his "kill the defense's will" physical style, but I also recognize that he is almost a non-threat to take it to the house from distance anymore

I have no problem with ironhead, he gets the tough yards and falls forward for one or more on almost every run.
Such a falsehood. Zeke doesn't actually break many tackles and is less productive than you'd suspect given our offensive line play.

This has been a consistent 2 year story.

This myth that he magically always falls forward is just that.

Anyoen watching CMC and/or Barkley and/or Cook (to name a few) and says..."ya know Zeke is better" is blind homer.
